A Splendored Thing Faces Tough Issues

After the death of her fiancé only days before her wedding, a young teacher flees the protection of family and friends and moves to an isolated place to live among very different people. Her dream turns to a nightmare when she gets caught up in a four-generation curse pronounced on her friend, an embittered doctor accused of murder. With both their lives hanging by a string in the hands of a psychotic killer, can these two who have just recommitted themselves to God, trust Him for their survival?

Christian author Jackie Strange has written a tight, fast-moving, and suspenseful novel now in the hands of a foremost agent. Jackie brings years of professional experience as a writer to her craft, as well as extensive experience as a public speaker, including on radio and television. She has won numerous honors for her writing.

A Splendored Thing integrates inspirational elements with tough issues that real women face, both personally and socially. Not a romance novel, it yet weaves romance, suspense, and the struggle with suffering into its structure as a thriller.

In other words: Real women, real issues and no simple answers.

"When Austin Boyd recommended me to Linda Nathan of Logos Word Designs, he did me a remarkable favor. Not only is Linda a great editor, but she is also a dedicated Christian who walks daily with Christ. Although I had published many articles and stories and have taught college non-fiction writing, Linda has been an invaluable wordsmith and an encouraging guide on the complexities of writing fiction. Each of her clients receives one-on-one guidance on structure, plot, characterization and other fiction elements. Another of Linda's strong points is that she stays in constant communication with her writer. This prevents unnecessary anxiety on the part of the writer and provides a much-needed sense of security that the work has relevance. Logos's rates are reasonable, and Linda keeps excellent records of her time and work.

"I believe Linda Nathan is one of the outstanding editors of Christian writing in the publishing world today. If there are other books for me, Linda would again be my editor of choice."
